chak de india
Amritsar, July 26 The fact that a majority of the members of the Indian contingent are from Punjab makes it even better. Fans are taking part and organising events to boost the morale of the players. With the 'Chak de India' campaign, sports lovers here are sending best wishes to the Indian athletes, especially the Indian hockey team. "Olympics are a big deal and hockey is the most prestigious sport of the country. India was known as a hockey powerhouse in the world but our performance is nowhere near that glory. However, the way our team has played in the Olympics qualifier against France, I am confident that this time we will definitely do something great," said Professor Paramjit Singh Randhawa, who is a sports writer and teaches Punjabi at DAV College, Amritsar. More such sports lovers gathered at the Hall Gate and signed in good wishes for the Indian team. "We have got good players in Sardara Singh, Sandeep Singh, Tushar Khandekar and all," said Gurdas Singh Sekhon, a lecturer, who is confident because of the team's form. He hopes that the team would bring home the gold medal in hockey. "The superb form in which the Indian hockey team is and with sportspersons like Jwala Gutta, Vijender Singh, Saina Nehwal, Abhinav Bindra and senior players like Leander Paes, India is hopeful in most categories of the competition," he added. The Indian contingent includes 81 athletes who will take part in 13 sports disciplines. Another morale booster has come from
Punjab government’s announcement of Rs 2 crore cash prize for each gold medal won at the Olympics. Cashing on the euphoria, city hotels and restaurants are too joining in the celebrations. “We have created an Olympics theme with huge Olympics logo in the main porch leading to the dining area of our hotel where we have placed sports gear as props and décor. Sports emoticons resembling that of Olympics have also been used in the ambiance," says Rajiv Sharma, the general manager of a local hotel. There is a surprise menu as well with some of delicacies named after famous and likely medal winners from the Indian contingent. While you dig into chicken tacos named after Abhinav Bindra or Sania Nehwal, you are not just gorging on food but extending your support to India's Olympics hopes.
